Snake Immortal Ghost Tales

Kui Kui has the fate of a snake immortal, born with heavenly eyes that can see between yin and yang.

However, her immortal status was borrowed from her father; she was never meant to exist in...

Chapter 137 Drinking this can replenish mana

Kui Kui immediately thought of the first salary he received.

The amount was substantial, a stark contrast to the wages received later.

After checking carefully, she realized that the money was not transferred from one account, but from a personal account.

Looking back now, that person was very likely Jiang Tangzheng.

Mang Wei was also a little surprised. After a brief moment of stunned silence, she patted Jiang Tangzheng on the back and laughed, "You're pretty good, kid!"

Jiang Tangzheng staggered and took two small steps forward before regaining his balance.

He awkwardly scratched the back of his head and said modestly, "It's alright, but I passed by a construction site the other day and saw that they were going to cut down such a big tree. I felt it was a bit of a pity."

“These days, themed cafes are all the rage, and TREECOFFEE sounds pretty cool, so I created one.”

"I never expected that my good intentions would backfire and almost kill this tree. Do you think there's any hope for saving it?"

Mang Wei swallowed hard, and after a long while, only four words came out of her mind: "Extravagantly luxurious!"

She thought Jiang Tang wanted to save the coffee shop and herself, but it turns out he wanted to save the tree!

Kui Kui didn't find it strange. She reached out and touched the rough tree trunk, saying, "All things have a spirit. It's good that you have such thoughts. This place is not suitable for this tree to live in. We can just find another place."

"I don't know much about feng shui, but it's always good to keep the shop clean and bright. You can ask Xiaowei about the rest."

Upon being called out, Mang Wei puffed out her chest, put her hands behind her back, and said, "Then you've come to the right person! Your shop has a great location, it's a prime location..."

Jiang Tangzheng nodded repeatedly as he listened, and then led the two of them upstairs.

The warm tranquility of the second floor contrasted sharply with the dim and noisy atmosphere of the ground floor.

Sunlight streamed through the glass roof, falling on the only guest on the second floor.

When the man saw the three approaching, he quickly stood up and straightened his already impeccably tailored suit.

He raised his hand and said, "Ah Zheng, over here."

It wasn't until Kui Kui got closer that he could see what the person looked like.

He was a middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Jiang Tangzheng.

A man's forehead is full and rounded; his eyebrows are broad, thick, and slightly upturned; his nose is full, straight, and has a fleshy tip; his ears are close to his face, yet a pair of very large earlobes can still be seen; his chin is flat and square, round and fleshy; his mouth is slightly large and his lips are slightly thick.

What impressed Kui Kui the most were his eyes, which were clear and bright, with a sharp and righteous look.

Even if Kui Kui doesn't understand physiognomy, he can tell that this person is a good person and gives people a comfortable feeling.

“Kui Kui, Immortal, this is my uncle, Dai Hongsheng,” Jiang Tangzheng introduced.

“Uncle, this is the master Kui Kui I mentioned to you before, and this is the Great Immortal Mang.”

A flash of surprise crossed Dai Hongsheng's eyes. He had thought that experts were all elderly men with a sage-like demeanor, but he hadn't expected them to be two such beautiful young girls.

He quickly composed himself and politely pulled out chairs for the two of them, saying, "Please have a seat, both of you."

"Uncle, I've invited a master for you. Tell me the story yourself."

After Jiang Tangzheng finished speaking, he called over a waiter and ordered a table full of colorful drinks for Mang Wei and a can of blue Coke for Kui Kui.

After the cola arrived, he whispered, "Kui Kui, I heard that drinking this can replenish mana."

Kui Kui took a sip through the straw and laughed, "Where did you learn all this? You're a civil servant, you should believe in science even more."

Jiang Tangzheng's lips twitched, thinking to himself: Thanks to you, I've seen ghosts more than once. Anyone can say that, but it's not appropriate for you to say it.

"Sister, this is delicious!" Mang Wei said, pushing the hot cocoa she had just finished drinking towards the door of Kui Kui.

"You drink it." Kui Kui pushed the cup back and smiled gently.

The three of them talked amongst themselves, and Dai Hongsheng felt isolated, but his good manners kept him smiling politely.

However, a slight gloom appeared between his brows.

"Mr. Dai, please just say what you need," Kui Kui said, putting down his Coke.

"Yes! Xiao Jiang is one of us. Since you are his uncle, you are also one of us."

Dai Hongsheng took a sip of his iced Americano, feeling increasingly awake. He said with a clear mind, "Last month, I took on a national project."

"The project was huge, and the country attached great importance to it. The groundbreaking ceremony was also very well done. But a strange thing still happened. There were no problems with the geology, but the piles just couldn't be driven in."

"If the foundation piles can't be driven in, then there's no way to proceed with the construction."

He explained the matter clearly in just a few words.

He looked up and saw that the two girls opposite him had already stood up.

The drinks on the table had been emptied at some point, and he opened his mouth, looking somewhat stunned.

What are you doing here?

"You can just have Jiang Tangzheng take us to the construction site. Only by seeing it with our own eyes will we know what the problem is."

Mang Wei replied, "Sister is right. But if I hadn't come to this shop, I wouldn't have known there were so many delicious drinks in the world. Come on, Xiao Dai, what are you waiting for?"
